Charley’s Philly Steaks, a Columbus-based restaurant chain, has opened a location in Massillon at 2630 Lincoln Way E, in front of Kmart.

The store, which opened last week, is one of the first upscale, fast casual restaurants that the chain plans to open this year. Customers have the option of choosing between three sizes of Philly Steak sandwiches as well as eight varieties of gourmet fries. The menu also includes Charley’s rice-based Philly Bowls. Charley’s also is known for its fresh-squeezed lemonade and Signature Frozen Treats, all made with nonfat frozen yogurt.

Charley’s opened its first location on the campus of Ohio State University

25 years ago and has grown to more than 430 locations in 16 countries.
